What the cameras didn't show: Bills came prepared to own the Steelers' hype anthem - The Athletic

PITTSBURGH — All week, the Buffalo Bills prepared for a moment nobody saw Sunday night.

“Sunday Night Football” went to a commercial break with 10:03 left in a tie game. The Bills’ offense was huddled and waiting. Heinz Field’s video scoreboard went black, a signal to Pittsburgh Steelers fans their anthem was about to play.

The song begins as a dirge, a lone bass drum, the heartbeat beneath a mournful lyric about a fugitive facing execution. Steelers defensive highlights begin to roll. Then a scream detonates the song into a fierce guitar-driven rocker. Quarterbacks get pulverized. Backs are stuffed. Balls are dislodged.

Terrible Towels roil up a sea of gold during “Renegade,” a 1978 hit from Styx, a band named after the river that separates the living world from Hades. Pittsburgh smells blood.

But Buffalo’s sideline didn’t shrink. Quite the opposite.

Back from commercial, NBC...
